Who are you? and What's your IQ? in General
Thuryl ...b10010b... Member # 869	written Monday, May 30 2005 05:10 Profile Homepage #24 My real name and picture can be found in my profile. I'm an 18-year-old Australian university student who's about six months away from graduating with a degree in biomedical science. My IQ places me in the top 0.00003% of the world's population. I said my first words at the age of five months and was speaking in complete sentences by one year. I am an accomplished scholar of all the natural sciences, and also of psychology. My favourite book throughout my early childhood was a 1400-page catalogue of common human diseases, which I began reading at the age of 3 and stopped only once I had memorised it. This had a number of interesting effects on my development, including causing me to use the phrase "pain in the groin or lower abdomen" at inappropriate times. I know a vast assortment of quotations, anecdotes, jokes and other miscellaneous bons mots for every conceivable social occasion. I am a distinguished public speaker. My picture has appeared on the front page of a popular magazine. Women find me irresistible. So do a surprising number of men. Some people have accused me of being slightly arrogant at times.

Super Smash Brothers Characters in General

You can find it floating around online under the name of "Earthbound Zero". Admittedly, though, Ness doesn't appear in it.

Newbie Alert!!! in Blades of Avernum Editor
Thuryl ...b10010b... Member # 869	written Monday, May 30 2005 02:24 Profile Homepage #8 Yeah, the thing about the question field that you're supposed to put the creature's name in is that it's actually ignored by BoA, despite what the documentation says. What you have to do is give the creature a name in the town script's INIT_STATE, using the set_name call. Look at the script of pretty much every friendly town in the pre-packaged scenarios for examples of how it's done.

As regards relativity: http://www.muppetlabs.com/~breadbox/txt/al.html Einstein's theories of relativity explained entirely in words of four letters or less. (The above isn't really a simple explanation; you need a basic grounding in physics to figure out what it's even talking about. It's still fun if you can make sense of it, though.) -------------------- My BoE Page Bandwagons are fun! Roots Hunted! Posts: 9973 \| Registered: Saturday, March 30 2002 08:00
